Why trading up for Russell should be the priority

[Stoked]

I wrote in another thread about it. Right now Hood is the closest to becoming our high volume 3p shooter. He's been shooting 5.8 3 pointers per 36 minutes, and hit them at 37% for the season that includes a horrible start laden with injuries(he finished the season at 42% post all star break on about the same rate(5.7 per 36)). And to add to it, he seems to have the additional game to justify him being out there for that much of playing time.

Alec Burks shot really well on catch and shoot 3s too(43%) but shoot very few of them(2.7 per 36) and I am not sure his tendencies can be changed so he'd just shoot the open 3 rather than put the ball on the floor.

The more I look at our wings the more I am satisfied for next year. Hayward/Hood/Burks/Ingles/Millsap is great.

Focuses me more on back up C and PG tbh.

Will russel be available at #3 ?

Because I got a feeling.....jazz are going to win the lottery.

We could still strike luck in the lotto my friend.

That's the only way, and it's not worth hoping for. If your hopes and dreams for the Jazz rely on 7 of 1000 to happen in 3 tries, then I don't know what to tell you.
